What did “being rich” mean to you when you were a kid

When I was a kid I thought being rich meant you could eat at McDonald’s or Burger King any time you wanted.

Rich means the same thing now as it did then - you can do whatever the frick you want to do.

The kids whose parents bought them new cars to drive to high school. Little did I know we were better off than most of them but my dad didn't go for that nonsense.

I got hand-me-down clothes from my cousin growing up so I just thought it would be just being able to have clothes meant for you

Not living in a trailer park, getting a haircut at the barber, buying a yearbook and going out to eat.

My BFF and I would go to the gym/club and put food on her dad’s account all the time and that was it for me lol

Having a pool... But after working on them during college, now I just know people that own them are idiots... Or maybe they're just rich and don't care about their money

I didn't know about the Great Recession until I saw the Big Short.
Now that's paper.

As a little kid it meant having a Lamborghini.
As an adult. Pretty much the same.

Friends mom drove a Lexus. Also my sisters “rich” friend had clothes from banana republic.
I thought that they were super rich, but now I’m on my 3rd Lexus in the last 6 years or so and I don’t consider myself to be particularly rich.
